 have ten stride composed of regular punctures. 



This genus maj be placed close to Cymatocleray and it has 

 been named after Baruch de Spinoza.

Head shining, very sparsely punctured, with two shallow 

 fovea3 between the eyes ; the thorax is clothed with long 

 greyish hairs, little imeven and nearly impunctate, slightly 

 constricted at the sides behind the coxa3. The elytra are

This is the species spoken of in the preamble ; and 

 Mr. Gorham, having lately examined a series with many 

 varieties from Assam and Burma, has been able to settle the 

 synonymy for me, and has kindly done so. 



Clitdiscus oOeliscus, sp. n. 



Cyliiidricus, ])arallelus ; capite elytrisque totis nigris ; thorace 



rufo. 

 L. 6-7i mill. 



Cylindrical, })arallel ; the antennte black, with two basal 

 joints usually red ; the last are cylindrical ; joints 4-10 are 

 triangular, being slightly dilated on the inner edge; the head 

 wider than the thorax, sparsely punctulate, eyes prominent ; 

 the thorax widest behind the neck, very much constricted 

 behind the coxEe, punctured like the head ; the elytra strongly 

 punctate-striate for three quarters of their length, punctures 

 then abruptly evanescent to the apex ; the legs are black, 

 with the claws inf uscate ; the anterior and intermediate coxse 

 red. 



The species was formerly assigned by Kiesenwetter to 

 C. strangidatus, Chevr., an insect from the Philippine 

 Islands ; but Chevrolat's species has pectinated joints in the 

 antennte, while in C. oheliscus the corresponding joints are
